[Verse 1]
I still see your grin
By that old screen door
Your name in my mouth
Like a prayer before
We talked too long
On that porch light swing
And the whole wide world
Went soft around everything
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew right then
What my heart had done
One look at you
And I was done
[Chorus]
It’s always been you
Always been you
I fall right back
When you say my name
It’s always been you
Always been you
Same sweet ache
In a different day
(always been you)
[Verse 2]
I kept your jacket
For those rainy nights
Folded up careful
In the closet light
Years rolled by
Like a slow dirt road
But every turn led
Where your hand first showed
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to drift
I tried to run
One look at you
And I was done
[Chorus]
It’s always been you
Always been you
I fall right back
When you say my name
It’s always been you
Always been you
Same sweet ache
In a different day
(always been you)
[Bridge]
If time got mean
And the miles got loud
I’d still find you
In a packed-up crowd
Same old spark
Same steady flame
First and forever
I’d say your name
[Chorus]
It’s always been you
Always been you
I fall right back
When you say my name
It’s always been you
Always been you
Same sweet ache
In a different day
(always been you)
